Once again blowing his dog whistle, President Trump described Baltimore today as "so far gone." The fact is the city is in the midst of a 62% decrease in homicides since 2022. And it is hardly the only good story unfolding in The Greatest City in America.
Is Baltimore on the Cusp of a Renaissance? (The Mayor Thinks So)
By itself, the dramatic two-year decrease in Baltimore’s homicide rate is a story now receiving national attention. But it is hardly the only good story unfolding in The Greatest City in America.

Once again, it wasn’t an immigrant. It wasn’t a drag queen, a refugee, or anyone Fox News tells you to fear.
It was a white male. Evangelical. Armed. Angry.
The pattern isn’t changing it’s just getting louder. And still, they scapegoat the vulnerable while ignoring the real domestic threat.

Through May, Baltimore has recorded 54 homicides, the fewest through the first 5 months of a year on record. The previous low: 65 homicides, in 1977.
At this point in 2022, just three years ago, there had been 138 killings, and in 2017 there had been 146 people killed.

When Muhammad Ali knocked down Sonny Liston on May 25, 1965, a 22-year-old photographer named Neil Leifer was ringside. Decades later, the image he captured still has our attention. Leifer spoke about how it took on a life of its own.

Murjoni Merriweather is an incredible artist known for her ceramic sculptures that celebrate Black culture and identity. Her work challenges traditional sculptural norms by incorporating hairstyles like braids and Bantu knots, along with accessories such as earrings and grills. #baltimoreart

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

Trump has disbanded the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities. The group’s work was grounded in “the fundamental belief that creativity, diversity, and democracy are intrinsically bound, and that the arts and the humanities can be a powerful force for social change.”

How the Hell are, like, five techno bros going from federal building to federal building with OPM credentials and being allowed into computer systems and then locking the doors? Like, someone, anyone: just punch them or something. Pants them. They’re 20! Card them! Make them tie a tie! Something!

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Our beloved Canada is under threat.
The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.
“Commander in Chief” jumps to throw military crew under the bus before any details are known. Coward.
We no longer have a leader in the White House but a conman who’s #1 goal is always to dodge responsibility.
Next time a R or D says “respect the office” remind them the President himself doesn’t.
